British indie-pop four-piece PREP is making their highly anticipated return to Manila for another night of smooth grooves, infectious melodies, and their signature blend of jazz, soul, West Coast pop, and Japanese city pop.

Formed in London in 2015, PREP is composed of Thom Havelock (vocals), Llywelyn Ap Myrddin (keys), Guillaume Jambel (drums), and Dan Radclyffe (production). Over the past decade, the band has developed a distinct sound that blends nostalgic influences with contemporary pop, earning them a dedicated global following.
Known for fan favorites such as “Cheapest Flight,” “Who’s Got You Singing Again,” “Line by Line,” and “Pictures of You,” PREP now enters their next chapter with their latest EP, One Day in the Sun—a four-track collection that continues to refine their unmistakable sound.

Recorded and self-produced by the band, the EP brings together influences from American soul and jazz with contemporary pop, including a collaboration with Taiwanese band Sunset Rollercoaster on “Do What You Gotta Do.”
For PREP, it’s all about taking the sounds and moods of earlier generations and reworking them into something entirely their own. And Manila has always been part of that story.
